Baubles Picture Parade.

[rbs]

I will have a go at 3 of them, 2, Tojeiro, 5, Chaparral, 6, Dargue MG.
1 of them must be a Keift another could be a Cisitalia.

Spot on with 5 & 6, but no Tojeiro. Keift certainly were better know for F3 cars and did produce a GP car, but it never raced in period due to lack of an engine, they also produced a few sports cars, so good guess, but which one will you plump for?

Not a Cisitalia, it is a make I have never heard of and even Google can provide only details of it's entry in a few events. Style, colour and name suggest Italy, but I have no idea other than that. To be honest it is ridiculously hard unless you know the car, but it makes for a bit of fun.

That's right GC, Goodwood revival. Now that still leaves another 500cc F3 marque to link a picture to. It is not, of course, a Cooper.

Another clue;

That is the Emeryson 500.

NO RB! IT'S A CLUE!

[rbs]

The 4th picture is the Emery(son) sports car.

[rbs]

Just recognised the crash helmet of Neil Perkins so the 1st picture has to be his RGS Atalanta.
I lived in the next village to him for 12 years!

[GCCheddaris]

Could the little red car in the third picture be a Bandini Siluro ?

[GCCheddaris]

Is the RGS the ex Peter Wardle MGA powered car and did he race it in the MGOC series ?

[rbs]

The Red car could be the Mille Miglia Balino.

Well done Bob, I thought that no one would get the Balino, I know I would never have found it if I had not got the picture. Total mystery to me.

Yes the RGS Atalanta, and the Emeryson, I think the only one made.

Do you want more?

[rbs]

Lets have some more. They are good practice for our annual quiz in the White Horse. Will you be bringing your team of snappers this year? It is on Thursday November 28th.

If I remember correctly the Balino was driven by a regular VSCC driver Geoff Toms who always competes in Fiats ssssssso my gues it is made up fiat engine & parts.

[GCCheddaris]

Would the Balino be a cross between a Fiat Balilla ( which I think Geoff Toms races ) and a Topolino ? Enjoying the pictures and trying to find the right answers even if I get as many wrong as I get right !
